i have a LMDE installation workin with the Cinammon Desktop as default.

I have configured samba with the GADMIN-SAMBA App.everything works nice but only after deactivation and reactivation of GADMIN-SAMBA. ( i mean pressing the second from the left button and the first from the left of GADMIN-SAMBA interface)

Is there a solution for this? meaning e.g. on a restart samba should work without to have to deactivate and re-activate.

I would like to help you - truly I would - but I made myself a promise to never try to debug the utter mess that gadmin-samba creates ever again. Life is too short. There may be someone else who uses it here who can help you or you can try the Ubuntu forums.

Side note: I don't remember if gadmin-samba creates a backup of the default smb.conf for you but there is a copy of it here: /usr/share/samba/smb.conf

It does have one mistake in it though. It has "encrypt passwords = No" instead of "encrypt passwords = Yes". So you will have to make that change yourself if you want to go back to the default smb.conf that was originally installed.

Please add a [SOLVED] at the end of your original subject header if your question has been answered and solved.

EDIT: If it's just a services problem it may be that Debian is now experiencing what happened to Ubuntu a few years ago. The samba service ( specifically the nmbd part of samba ) is starting before the network is up. My workaround back then was to create a file:

even with typing the command:sudo service samba restartafter a new boot

samba restarts but it is not possible to go in from another computer. Only starting GADMIN-SAMABA deactivating and reactivating the service solve this. i mean only starting the GADMIN-SAMBA does not work!!!

In my smb.conf on --> /etc/samba/smb.conf there is encrypted password = yes
